can we get hash value on serverside php?

Question

I have url like this http://localhost/project/test/value#value2. when i hit this url i want to fetch #tag value on server. I tried like this on server side

    <?php 
   function test(param){ ?> 
       <script> 
          var className = window.location.hash;  
          alert(className);
       </script> 
   <?php 
    } ?>

this alert giving me class name but after page load if i assign this value to php variable its not working. I m using codeigniter so i tried this current_url() function and also i tried $_SERVER['REQUEST_URL'] but its not working in my case

try defining the value inside `test` to a variable and then returning the variable. — mega6382, Nov 18 '15 at 06:54

The problem here is that browser did not send #tag during request, so you don't have it at server side in any url get function, only option for you is process that #tag in js side and load necessary html part through ajax

Please refer this

$actual_link = "http://$_SERVER[HTTP_HOST]$_SERVER[REQUEST_URI]";

Use the parse_url function.

$url = 'http://localhost/project/test/value#value2';

$tokens = parse_url($url);

print_r($tokens);

/*will output
Array
(
    [scheme] => http
    [host] => localhost
    [path] => /project/test/value
    [fragment] => value2
)
*/

The fragment bit is what you are after.

what does `current_url()` return? – Alex Andrei Nov 18 '15 at 06:46
try this `print current_url() . $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];` – Alex Andrei Nov 18 '15 at 06:48
oh wait, you can't access the anchor (the hash and everything else) from php, it doesn't get passed over, see this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/967649/get-entire-url-including-query-string-and-anchor – Alex Andrei Nov 18 '15 at 06:52

You can't get hash tag from url in php. Because browser does not send #tag during processing request.
